about number 7

please give me an example of something that you consider
to be something beautiful that you created from scratch...

I'm anxious to know more about you...

Well, this may sound lame, but an example is; at this time of year there is an absolutely beautiful local tree, I think it might be called Mimosa (sic?), that smells like passion fruit and blooms beautiful fuzzy hot pink buds, I love to pick them and fill a triangular glass dish i have with them, making a sort of gay-pride centerpiece that fills the room with a delicious smell.

This week I took a bunch of scrap wood I found in an abandoned rock query and made a quite nice dog house for two adorable stray puppies that found a home under my house hehe.

I have a friend into Native American stuff, so I took a really pretty peice of drift wood I found and sawed it, ran it through a plainer and, you know those ads for those collectible plates? I cut one out of an indian chief, burned it around the edges, put it and a clock face onto the wood and laminated the whole thing with thick-coating varnish, I think it made a beatiful-if-somewhat-tacky gift for only the price of a clock face.

Yesterday I picked blackberries from a bush outside and made one of the best cobblers i've ever had from scratch with them, does that count? It looked beautiful to me hehe.

Also, I consider some of my musical compositions to be beautiful, and made from scratch.

there are a million other examples but those are the most recent, I have too much time on my hands so stuff like this keeps me somewhat entertained.
